The "Sacrifice Pill" can nourish one's essence, an effect that Xiaocao had already verified. She restored her essence precisely because of the "Sacrifice Pill." Although further enhancing one's essence under saturation consumes a huge number of "Sacrifice Pills" and the effect isn't very good, theoretically, as long as there's a trace of "Morning Mist's" spirit as a catalyst, and enough "Sacrifice Pills" are provided, one can restore their essence to the level of "Morning Mist's" peak. This is the real reason why Xiaocao has always been hesitant to use the "Sacrifice Pill" to fuse with "Morning Mist's" spirit—because she wasn't confident in controlling the large amount of essence toxins.
The original toxin of "Morning Mist" is second only to the hawksbill turtle in its potency. Even though "Dancing Clothes" possesses the power of a magic array, it still suffers great damage. Patches of viscous leaf flesh peel off from "Dancing Clothes" like pus flowing from an infected wound. The intense pain also makes this ocean tyrant, which has evolved from a weak algae into a top-level existence, truly enraged.
With a sharp whistle, the massive underwater magic array suddenly lit up, and countless transparent egg-shaped spaces instantly rose into the air and quickly converged upon it.

"My soul is bound to you!"
Xiaocao suddenly used the same move that Dika had used in the fight against "Chen'ai". It was the witchcraft that had been neglected that ultimately succeeded in dealing with "Chen'ai". At this moment, she had a lot of witchcraft power stored in her body, and under the influence of Chiyou's sharp horn, it had condensed into primordial witchcraft power. At this time, she had to use any means necessary, so she created and injected poison while trying to use witchcraft to attack the spirit and consciousness of "Wuyi".
"Watch out! There's a space egg!" Lin Yao warned, using the term "space egg" hastily, but it was enough for Xiao Cao to understand.
"Trying to outrun me? You're nowhere near as fast!"
Xiaocao spoke with disdain, her voice devoid of the previous panic and fear. Like a peacock spreading its tail, she extended her magical tentacles, piercing into the numerous eggshells that sealed the airplanes and ships nearby. Ignoring the fact that the people inside would quickly age and die, she directly dragged the remaining debris and smashed it into the attacking egg-shaped spaces.
The egg-shaped space that was hit twisted for a moment, and then disappeared at the same time as the object that hit it, as if they had perished together. This surprised Lin Yao, who was paying close attention to the situation. He realized that these egg-shaped spaces were more dangerous than the previous ones. They did not contain and control the objects inside, but annihilated them directly. This was the most vicious attack method.
"Zhu Dan, now that you've come to my door, you'll never leave! I'm no longer the runaway dancer I once was. This sea will be your final resting place!"
Suddenly, "Wuyi" spoke in human language, its deep voice as loud as thunder, instantly shattering some of the eggshells around Lin Yao. The creatures inside rapidly aged and died, but the newly generated egg-shaped space remained unaffected, continuing to slowly gather around.
"Die!" Little Grass threw out five cannonballs with all her might, destroying five egg-shaped spaces. "Soul Ties! Soul Ties!"
"Little Grass, use those planes and ships sparingly. There are too many of those space eggs, and the magic arrays are being created too quickly. Once we've thrown everything away, we'll have nowhere to escape." Lin Yao immediately warned Little Grass. Looking around, he saw that the outermost dome of the entire underwater space had been filled with countless egg-shaped spaces, leaving no way to escape.
"Alright, let's dismantle the planes and ships and see how many space eggs they can produce!" Little Grass agreed, and the few items she had just grabbed were instantly dismembered into the smallest fragments. Then, these fragments shot out like arrows toward the egg-shaped space.
...
"This is going to be a long wait..."
Lin Yao numbly activated the faith power within the 'Sacrifice Pill' to resist the mental attack from the magic array. The lightning had been exhausted, with only a trace returning to Lin Yao's body. At this point, he had no means of attack and could only barely defend himself.
The little grass was making a lot of noise, casting a "Soul-Binding Spell" at "Dancing Robe," then shooting out tentacles to inject the "Morning Mist" primordial toxin it had been feeding into "Dancing Robe's" body. Then, "Dancing Robe" cut off the small tentacles, and then blasted out countless soybeans, mung beans, and even sesame seeds-sized pebbles and airplane and shipwreck debris, destroying countless egg-shaped spaces. Occasionally, it could find an opportunity to use its tentacles to twist off a small branch of "Dancing Robe."
Everyone except Lin Yao was hurt.
Although "Wuyi" could occasionally use the magic circle to emit a white light to repair its damage, it was reduced to a broken and withered flower under the intense attack. Countless branches were broken by the grass, and its entire body turned black, with no trace of green left, because the amount of toxins injected by the grass was outrageous.
According to Xiaocao herself, she had injected a toxin that could kill hundreds of people in the world into "Wuyi's" body, but she still couldn't do anything about it.
The grass's tendrils were no longer opaque, but had turned completely dark green. Although it had initially merged with the spirit of that "morning mist," it was still being tormented by the primordial toxins, and Lin Yao had to help it expel the poison from time to time.
Under the control of "Dancing Robe", the magic array has a self-protective barrier that prevents Lin Yao and Xiao Cao from daring to challenge it. This is "Dancing Robe's" greatest reliance at present.
Xiaocao's only advantage was the more than two million "Sacrifice Pills" within her body, which could both nourish her original toxins and repair her own damage. They could also allow Lin Yao to use the faith power within them to resist mental attacks, so there would be no problem of resource shortage in the short term. Therefore, she had plenty of time to chat with Lin Yao to pass the time during the tedious duel.
The world's most elite duel has turned into a protracted war of attrition, with the outcome only determined by the first side to fall. It will be whether the "Sacrifice Pill" stored by the little grass runs out first, or whether the spirit stones maintaining the magic array run out of spiritual energy first. Otherwise, there is no other way.
"Yaoyao, if only you hadn't used the lightning in the first place, you could have refined pills. I think the things that 'Dancing Robe' dropped were all top-grade medicinal herbs; maybe you could have refined a pill that would be fatal to it! What a pity..."
Lin Yao rolled his eyes upon hearing this, ignoring it. He thought to himself that even if it was a top-grade medicinal herb, with your poison added, who knows what kind of pill it would turn into? It might even explode my cauldron because of its extreme medicinal properties. If you get distracted, we're both finished.
...
Meanwhile, a fierce battle is also taking place near the Sino-Indian border. This is a duel between the world's top masters. Since the death of a Heavenly Ninja, the entire battle has evolved from a kidnapping and rescue operation into a life-or-death struggle.
There were ten top-tier experts present: two each from the Yi, Pei, and Sun families, the Grand Elder of the Hong family, and three law enforcement officers from the military. Except for one other top-tier elder from the Hong family, all the renowned top-tier experts from across China were gathered here. Even Li Xiaotian, a top-tier expert from the military who had just been healed and restored by Lin Yao, disregarded his need for rest and recuperation and rushed to join the battle upon hearing the news.
There were more experts from abroad than from within the country at the Heavenly Realm, and their nationalities were also quite diverse. There were twelve Knights of the Round Table from England, who possessed super strength directly from a mysterious inheritance; five vampire dukes from England and other European countries; three Heavenly Ninjas from Japan, one of whom died and two remain; ten Varo followers from India; seven Snow Bear Warriors from Russia; and even the chief inquisitor and judge from the Vatican appeared at the end, totaling thirty-nine people, with thirty-eight remaining even after one loss.
"I'm warning you bunch of bastards!"
Elder Yi Potian wasn't worried that the enemy wouldn't understand Chinese. While unleashing a powerful aerial shadow claw strike, he shouted, "You'd better release them immediately! Releasing them will leave you room for maneuver. Otherwise, when my master returns, you won't even know how to spell 'death' anymore. It will be too late to regret it then!"
The Yi family's strongest attack and the Sun family's strongest defense were indeed extraordinary. The partnership between Yi Potian and Sun Woxing maximized this advantage. The two of them alone dealt with ten enemies and did not suffer any setbacks.
The cooperation between Yi Zuojun, the newly promoted Heavenly Rank member of the Yi family, and Sun Danran, the Second Elder of the Sun family, is becoming more and more proficient. The two of them are also able to deal with ten enemies. Although the enemies are not as strong as those on the First Elder's side, for someone who has just advanced to the Heavenly Rank, this is already an extremely difficult achievement. It is clear that Yi Zuojun has never relaxed his usual hard training.
Aside from these two pairs, each of the remaining top-tier domestic experts was responsible for an average of three foreign cultivators. Although some dangerous situations arose from time to time, they never really lost ground.
After a rapid exchange in English, the enemy gave their reply: they did not agree to release the person and that the issue could only be resolved when Lin Yao returned and personally went to England.
